About This Innovation
Both Svager and her husband were university professors with a strong commitment to furthering education opportunities. During their professional lives, the Svagers lived on one income and invested the other to build a scholarship fund. After her death, her husband established the Thyrsa Frazier Svager Fund at the Dayton Foundation, for African-American women who major in mathematics at one of six universities, with a legacy contribution planned. Svager also wrote 2 textbooks: CSU's Modern Elementary Algebra Workbook (1969) & Essential Mathematics for College Freshmen(1976).
